What it is
Imaging is on site, so the scan and the answer happen in the same visit rather than the same month.
At Post Family Dentistry, we take digital impressions with a handheld scanner, so there is no tray of putty to sit through. These modern techniques capture precise images of your teeth and gums, ensuring better-fitting restorations and improved comfort, no messy putty required.
